hhrltfeI agree. I'm starting to hate gopper and others like Oystein because they are so boring to watch. Their tricks, of course, are impressive but they need to steal some of Dollo's style. Fuck we need more people like Dollo
slush8That's a tough one... To be the most well rounded you have to be throwing down in every discipline so here's my list.
1. Candide; Moguls, Ski - Cross, Slopestyle, Big Air, Pipe, Backcountry, Urban, NBD's, Freeride overall World Champion
First to jump Chads Gap, First 810 to rail. Etc Best Overall Style and Tech Skier
2. Kenworthy; Moguls, Slopestyle, Big Air, Pipe, Backcountry, Urban, NBD's, Olympic Medalist,7 x AFP Overall World Champion
First to double off a rail, First to land a triple in Slopestyle comp, First to land four doubles in pipe. Won VARs competition.
Progressive, Best Tech Skier.

Some people may balk act me putting Kenworthy at No 2 but I fully think he deserves it. It's extremely hard to win in both pipe and slope these days. The level of riding is so high.
If you're asking whose the most stylish/innovative/fan favourite skier, that's a different story.

christianwearschIn my opinion, dollo is the best skier around. Year after year, he drops street edits with bdog, showcasing his style and trick creativity. Then, in films such as BE inspired, he shows his ability to send it in the backcountry. He does dubs off of backcountry booters like no ones business, still managing to showcase his steeze. Before you know it, the mans winning dew tour. He can throw tricks just as big as someone like goepper, but adds a creative twist that makes him stand out among the comp scene. No matter where he skis, henrick is dominant. And to the looks of it, he isn't slowing down. His love for the sport and life is contagious, he is exactly what the ski community needs.
willysworldHenrik can't really ski big mountain very well. no one touches Candide period.
t_hennumThe run Gus threw down in the dew tour team was mad impressive, first run of the day and stomped it all so clean. Left me impressed

McMaster_17yeah man true, Henrik can't ski big mountain very well

willysworldHitting a jump off a cliff isn't big mountain skiing .. it's just a backcountry jump.. watch a Ian Mactintosh segment that's big mountain skiing henrik has bad ski teqnique when he skis big mountain he is back seat and doesn't have the control or poise like someone like Candide or Tanner has.. and if you wanna watch good ski technique watch Adam Delorme ski..
kim_jong_illWhat about Sammy C?
McMaster_17Yeah thats true, Im jus in love with Henriks dub off that thing. But I think you're all right no one can really touch candide and tanner in their big Mtn

Rum_HamThere are definitely better big mountain skiers than tanner and candide but none of them compare in other aspects.
willysworldIan Mactintosh segment that's big mountain.
Rum_HamCandide is more well rounded. Haven't seen Henrik stomp any big lines. Not discrediting him at all, just saying that if we are going to say he's the most well rounded big mountain should be a factor.
cpohlI think one person who could maybe challenge dollo is Torin Yater wallace look at his 2015-2016 season edit its crazy good
dan4060This.
There is a Henrick who is arguably the best all around skier, but it is Windstedt.
willysworldNo there are not.. Candide is the best skier on planet earth hence why he won the freeride for in his rookie year..
Rum_HamMcConkey, Seth, Sage, Abma, Cody Townsend, Hoji, and maybe even Sean Pettit all stomp incredibly gnarly lines with style and speed.

averyhiglonobody said that dollo was better then tanner or Candide. They said dollo is the most well rounded skier. I can't think of any other skier maybe besides Alex hall that can perform as well as Henrik in all different types of skiing
willysworldPipe, park and rails are all frestyle skiing its basically the same discipline ... Freeriding and racing are different disciplines .. your idea of what an "All round skier is" is extremley floored.. being an alround skier incompases, edge control, race skills. and skiing in gnarly natural terrain..
T HallSend It EdolloGotta love Edollo
No problem man[/quote]
Mort.Mcflyit's Henrik with only a K not CK. this is what grinds my gears.

SofaKingSickhaha maybe 10 years ago. windstedt is a top shelf (and criminally underrated) skier but he's no longer in the "best all around" running with people like candide and parker white doing what theyre doing
McMaster_17yeah man true, Henrik can't ski big mountain very well

willysworldAll these guys are AMAZING skiers amazing but none of them touch Candide Thovex the only person starting to touch him is Sean P and Sammy Andermatten, Johnny Collinson is quite amazing and Kye is fucking amazing aswell.. but for the Record.. once and for all Candide Thovex is on another LEVEL... ask any pro skier who they think is the greatest skier on planet earth and every single one will say Candide..
cpohlI think one person who could maybe challenge dollo is Torin Yater wallace look at his 2015-2016 season edit its crazy good
McMaster_17by the way for everyone saying Candide and Tanner are better than dollo, that dollo can't do big Mtn like Candide, theres no way Candide can do park like dollo........
